Champions League gets new dates

The inaugural Champions League Twenty20 will be played between December 3 and 10, instead of October, the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa have announced. Thus keeping in mind the dates change, the first Test between Australia and South Africa in Perth has been pushed back from December 12 to December 17.

The eight-team tournament was initially due to begin on September 29, the reserve day of the Champions Trophy final, but the ICC was unhappy with its timing, given its close proximity to the Pakistan event.

No other international fixtures have been scheduled on those dates, allowing all players to participate, although the domestic seasons of Australia and South Africa will have to be rearranged. The tournament has been sandwiched between India’s seventh one-dayer against England and the first Test in Ahmedabad, games which start a day before and after the tournament respectively.

The ECB have however expressed their displeasure over the tournament being staged in between the English tour.
